Neck swap. Bridge and pick up compatibility issues?

Hello,

Happy SSS Warmoth owner here.

I would like to swap my neck, which is 1&11/16" wide at the nut, with a neck that'd be 1 5/8" wide at the nut. (and also, thinner, btw)

Same ( 25.5" ) scale length
Same (modern) construction
Same (10"-to-16" compound) fretboard radius.

Only 1/16 of-an-inch narrower at the nut! (and a little thinner)

I'm worried about hardware compatibility!

Will my Wilkinson-by-Gotoh VS100 bridge still be compatible or set-able with the rest of the guitar?

Will a different string spacing affect the tone, as the guitar mounts unevenly-spaced SSS pickups?

...Or will the change in string spacing be negligible for both for the pickups and the bridge?

Thank you very much!
 
Since the string spacing is at the nut, not the bridge, it will be negligible.
String spacing doesn’t affect tone.
